Oh baby! Sweet little Elijah was born in March to Clementine and her hubby Cyrus Wilcox

Clementine, also an actress who starred in The Young and The Restless, tied the knot with actor/producer Cyrus Wilcox in April, 2013. They welcomed baby Elijah in March.

In 2009 Clementine, who also starred in Showtime's The L Word, came out as a bi-sexual, announcing she was in a relationship with musician and record producer Linda Perry. But when she and Linda split she began dating Cyrus, and the two became engaged in May 2012 and married last year.

'Cybill is over the moon to be a grandmother and she’s spoiling her new grandson rotten,” says a source. “She is also doing all she can to help Clementine learn the ropes – having raised three children of her own'

Twosome: Cybill and Bruce Willis starred in the hit TV romcom Moonlighting for four years starting in 1985. At around the same timeCybill became a grandmother, Bruce became a dad of his fifth daughter

Clementine is the author of a blog called The Dog Ate My Antidepressants, and she writes about her struggle to lose the baby weight while so many Hollywood moms make it seem as easy as pie.

'I have a friend whose baby was born the day before Elijah,' she writes. 'She is back at regular life with a vengeance, working, running classes and groups, while doing all things baby. I’m in awe of her.

'I’m also in awe of those women who are back to their pre-baby weights after 6 weeks. (I get that most of those women have nannies, trainers, chefs and/or fancy food delivery, but they still have to do the work.)

Nearly two months post baby, Clementine bravely admits she’s stuck at 174 pounds, and she has been turning to her mom for weight loss tips.

'Cybill still looks great at 64,” says the source. “She does her best to keep fit, but she admits she’s always been a ‘bit overweight,’ and felt lucky to have been a model back when it was acceptable to have curves and not be rail thin.'

Mother's day: Clementine writes on her Twitter: 'I'm also in awe of those women who are back to their pre-baby weights after 6 weeks. (I get that most of those women have nannies, trainers, chefs and/or fancy food delivery, but they still have to do the work.)Then there¿s me. See above. I¿m lucky if I brush my teeth. Oh! And my house? It's a disaster.

The source says Cybill, most famous for her role as Maddie Hayes on Moonlighting opposite Bruce Willis, has been concentrating on living a healthy lifestyle since 2002, when she was first diagnosed with cancer.

'Cybill had a growth removed from her back that turned out to be Melanoma,' says the source. 'She was devastated. Lucky for her they got it before it spread. But the operation left such a disfiguring scar that once her back healed; she had to undergo plastic surgery to revise the scar.

'Everyone knows Melanoma can be deadly,' adds the source. 'So it was extremely important for Cybill to make sure she had regular six month check – ups. And she continues to cover herself in the hot California sun whenever she goes out.

Who's the daddy: It's actor Cryrus Wilcox, who Clementine married last year. She was in a relationship with record producer Linda Perry before that

Now twelve years later, Cybill is over-joyed to be told she’s still cancer free, reveals the source. 'The news is especially good because she wants very much to be alive and healthy for her grandbaby.'

The source says Cybill’s good news has also encouraged her to finally set a wedding date with her fiancé of nearly two years, psychologist Andrei Nikolajevic.

'Cybill has continued to work, but she’s hesitated to make wedding plans so she could concentrate on her health. says the source. But now that she remains cancer free after a decade, she’s ready to start.'
